Helping to ensure that residents not only exist but thrive in their living environments
The Mental Health Awards celebrate successful interventions and inspirational stories of people who have experienced mental health recovery. Since 2019, organisations, services, and individuals have been awarded for their relentless work toward making a difference in their communities. These awards symbolise hard work and heartfelt devotion.
This year, we are thrilled to be nominated for the Mental Health Awards in the 'Innovative Proactive Wellbeing Activity' category for the second consecutive year!
For the past decade, we've dedicated ourselves to developing integrated solutions that positively impact the lives of people living and working in the social sector. Our relentless dedication has earned us a prestigious nomination from the Mental Health Awards, specifically for our Wellness and Activities platform, one of our Connected Care offering's Resident Experience solutions for older adults.
Created by experts in wellbeing, mental health, dementia, and nutrition
Our Wellness and Activities platform, created specifically for the social care sector by experts in wellbeing, mental health, dementia, and nutrition, helps enhance the mental, physical and emotional wellbeing of older adults in care.

The platform hosts ready-to-deliver content in a range of formats, from live sessions with singers, dancers and relaxation specialists to activity packs for residents, support materials for staff, reminisce newspapers specially designed for older adults and people living with dementia, and themed calendars.
The platform also offers Oomph TV, which includes live exercise classes.
The most recent exercise session showcased the renowned Mr Motivator, adding an extra layer of excitement and motivation for participants.
Additionally, Oomph TV includes activity sessions, videos from expert partners, and even a worldwide radio platform with over 110,000 Radio Stations (FM, AM and Internet) stations and podcasts from 130 countries, giving residents the freedom and opportunity to tune into the stations they love. This platform not only boosts the physical and emotional health of those living in care but also enables care staff to save around 8-10 hours per week, which they can use to spend quality time with those they support.
